Funny that you post compulsively but if someone actually engages you on an issue you go instantly into the insults. You're obviously socially inept, probably have a drinking or drug problem and are either a closet fag/virgin or only sleep with whores.

The Bush admin talked tough but had been in negotiations with the Taliban for years, sometimes using the British as a proxy.

Check out this article, from that well known left-wing rag the Wall Street Journal. This was the Bush admin just coming out and saying what they had already been doing 'secretly.' Hence all the parsing of language with no 'direct' talks being possible. If the US had a functioning media this would be as well known to you as it is to everyone else.

BTW this forum's obsessions with alts is boring. Get over it.
